    Vista gadget for GPU temp in Vista64?

    I've got RivaTuner installed, but the stupid driver signing thing really torks me every time I restart. I'm dual-booting between Vista 64 and XP 32, so I reboot all the time. Anyone know of a vista64 approved sidebar gadget that shows the GPU temp?

    Can you have Crazy Cool and a CPU cooler back plate?

    I really want to keep my Crazy Cool, but I want to get rid of the stock Intel CPU cooler on my Q6600/X38-DQ6.

    Side of case fan under CPU?

    Just the other day I was looking at case fans and started thinking that something like this hard drive fan could be mounted to the side of my case to pull hot air from the back side of the CPU. Seems to me that the under side of a motherboard would have lots of stagnate air.

    Current vs emerging hardware for my new system.

    I’m looking to upgrade my system and need some advice. It’s really more of a complete build, since my old system is socket 478. Believe it or not, I’m not looking for someone to tell me which board/brand is better; it’s more of a philosophy question. My dilemma is that I’m not sure if I...
